Re: [otrs] RE: what is the best linux distro in my situation?

OK, I will read the upgrade docs. We have had nothing but problems with our current OTRS installation on OSX. Everything has to be done by hand. The Perl modules installation is a pain and there are no users in /etc/passwd, so we had to figure out NetInfo and use that instead. It did work fine in the end, but it was more work than I think is necessary, and now that we are having strange problems with it, we just want to install it on a straightforward linux platform. Installing it on Linux is mostly just installing the rpm and running the install script and you're done! On 10/31/07, Andy Lubel wrote:

No that wont work.. Read the upgrade docs. You need to run scripts if you plan on changing the version.

Also, our environment runs flawlessly on OSX, why change?

Thank you for all your answers, one other question I have:

How do I migrate an older OTRS database to a new installation? The older one is at version 2.0.4 and i am trying to migrate to 2.2.3.

The older installation was on a OSX Server and the new one will probably be on a Centos 5 machine with OTRS 2.2.3.

Looking at the manual at http://doc.otrs.org/2.2/en/html/c2528.html, I'm thinking a simple

/opt/otrs/scripts/backup.pl -d ...

on the the older machine, and then a:

/opt/otrs/scripts/restore.pl ....

on the new box will work?

Thanks for any help,

Otrs runs fine under CentOS. Actually I use otrs under CentOS 4.4. So, no need to Install obligatory Suse or Fedora.
